In an effort to avoid my third auto-ban due to number of Fanshots, I am putting them all into one Fanpost. Enjoy.

She stands in front of her son’s grave, at the bottom corner of an open-air mausoleum in South Florida. Sometimes she speaks to him, sharing stories about holidays and family business and his children. But always, before she leaves, Edith touches the oval photograph of Derrick Thomas, No. 58 for the Kansas City Chiefs.

Waters admitted during minicamp that he wasn’t in football shape, saying that he believes in putting the "off" in offseason. Waters will get his chance today to prove his conditioning level during Haley’s test, which is expected to be similar to the brutal exercise the Chiefs endured at the end of offseason drills.

Haley ready to rebuild Chiefs From NewsOK

Is Kansas City Coach Todd Haley all about passing? You wouldn't think that if you looked at the care package he recently got from his mom.

In it were a collection of plays he drew up as a kid, mostly classroom doodles, when his dad, Dick Haley, was assembling those great Pittsburgh Steelers teams of the 1970 as their director of player personnel.

As the original American Football League clubs celebrate their 50th anniversary this season, the Examiner.com writers who cover their modern-day NFL counterparts have been asked to select an "All-50" roster for our particular team. This is my latest entry into the series of articles.

Kansas City Chiefs All-50 team: defensive line From The Examiner

"Then he went over and Gary Clark was coming off the field and he tried to get him to stop and sign something and Clark just blew right past him.

"I’ve always remembered that happening and that’s why I try to sign for everybody, no matter how long it takes. I don’t want some kid to be standing there feeling like me and my brother did that day."

Such is the other side of L.J. that frequently is forgotten with his antics off the field, his angry comments or his frowning demeanor.

A Comfortable L.J. … Sunday Cup O’Chiefs From Bob Gretz

Besides running back Jamaal Charles and rookie wide receiver Quinten Lawrence the Chiefs have no speedy game breakers on their offense.

Which brings me to my main question why is a former first overall pick of the 2001 NFL Draft, three time pro bowler with 4.3 speed and the ability to throw the football out of the stadium still sitting on the free agent market?

Haley not pass crazy

Something that people keep harping on because of how much AZ threw the ball. But I like this quote:

“All these people think I’m some kind of passing guru and that I feel great about the passing game,” he said. “I feel great about doing what’s necessary to get the most of your players. But they see me as this spread-out, throw it 60 times a game. Really, that was by necessity. Hopefully that will work to our advantage. You’ll see a different side.”

Three yards and a cloud of dust here we come. And a lot of quidk short passes.

Chiefs go 9-7. LJ makes 1400 yards. DBowe makes 1200 yards. Defense #18.

Comfy LJ

That’s a good article by Gretz. As much as we may despise the guy for some actions, he truly has always been available for the fans. I also like the tone of him possibly becoming a leader on the team. Who’d of thunk it?

I can not believe it

Someone made a case for Vick to be a Chief?!?, Are you kidding me? Not now, not tomorrow, not on any given Sunday to I want Vick to be a Chief, Hell I don’t even want him in Arrow Head with another team. Where ever he goes the protester will follow, Peta and other animal rights groups have members all over, they can literally make it to every game his team plays, no matter where it is. And the team that does sign him is going to have these groups camped out 24/7, at the stadium and offices and get all the press coverage possible. We do not need a QB, We do not need the problems and we sure as hell don’t need that kind of distraction/media coverage just when things are starting to turn around. I hope that the Chiefs stick to their word about not even wanting to talk about him, let a lone sign him.

is it me? or isn't about time the Lamar Hunt trophy belonged to His team?

Amen Brother!

Throw the ball out of the stadium?

His arm is average at best or he would be a Raider. Al Davis could probably get an erection without viagra if there was a qb that could throw the ball out of the stadium and run a 4.3.
